The location of this hotel is wonderful....close to restaurants, shopping and Waikiki Beach. You can walk everywhere easily. It has an old world but modern charm with friendly, helpful staff. They offer complimentary amenities like coffee - espressos, cappucinos etc from 6 - 11 am and they have a fun little tiki style bar near the pool which offers good food and cocktails from 11 am until 11 pm. If you are looking for a funky small boutique hotel in a great location, I recommend the White Sands Hotel.

It's OK for the price.

It's a cool place but management has no idea how this place needs a deep cleaning. It's clean on top but grubby around every corner and nook. Front desk staff needs a course in guest management as well.

Check-in process was disjointed, as the room was not ready on time and there seemed to be confusion about whether housekeeping had cleaned it yet. Even after we were given the room key, housekeeping entered announced 10 minutes later not realizing the room had been taken care of.

A very nice place in a convenient area of town. Not too busy but close enough to get to the hustle of waikiki within 5min. Rooms and some of the common areas seem to have been updated recently. Its still has that older property feel but it's clean. Very friendly environment thats closed off to anybody that may be wandering by. Small pool but functional and there's a nice hot tub/grotto tucked away behind the swing bar. Somewhat steep resort fee but i think we got our moneys worth. On top of the beach towels, you can also borrow beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. You can even sign out a GoPro camera. All this is included in their fee. Our room had a balcony but it faced a neighbouring hotel/apartment. They other building is so close, you could hop into their balcony no problem. Needless to say, we never used the balcony. Other thhan that, we really enjoyed our stay at White Sands.
